Trump gets CORNERED by his OWN FBI Director OVER DARK PAST

A liberal analyst slammed the "pearl clutching" she sees in the right-wing media after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was murdered on Wednesday.

Ana Kasparian, co-host of "The Young Turks" podcast, discussed how the right-wing media has responded to Kirk's murder on a new podcast episode on Thursday. She said high-profile media figures on the right seem to be "hyping up a war with the left."

"The pearl clutching from the right is really bothering me, considering the record, the very real existing record, of their calls for violence or their mocking of left-wing figures," Kasparian said. "This whole thing is ridiculous."

Kasparian pointed to examples of conservative politicians downplaying or mocking political violence enacted against Democrats. For instance, she noted that Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) publicly shared disinformation about the attack on Paul Pelosi in 2022.

Higgins has also called for people who "belittle" Kirk to be banned from social media.

Chris Rufo, a prominent conservative writer, posted on X that "the last time the radical Left orchestrated a wave of violence and terror, J. Edgar Hoover shut it all down within a few years."

Kasparian argued that these reactions could

"Rather than taking the temperature down, rather than trying to find a way to ensure that there isn't additional violence, you have a sitting member of Congress talking about the need to permanently censor people on the left for their political speech," she said.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a risque birthday note from President Donald Trump to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In July, the Wall Street Journal first reported that Trump had sent Epstein the note written inside of a doodle of a woman's silhouette. The note referenced a "wonderful secret" shared by the two men.

Trump quickly sued the paper, claiming that the note did not exist.

The note was reportedly provided to Congress by Epstein's estate.

"President Trump called the Epstein investigation a hoax and claimed that his birthday note didn't exist. Now we know that Donald Trump was lying and is doing everything he can to cover up the truth," Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) told the Journal on Monday. "Enough of the games and lies, release the full files now."
